Abstract
3D printing is rapidly becoming one of the most disruptive ideas of the 21st century greatly impacting how products are manufactured and made available to society. The intense research and development of additive technologies registered over the past decade is leading 3D printed objects to compete with conventionally manufactured goods. Furthermore, this concept has encouraged the creation of new products that would otherwise face production constraints due to high geometric complexity.
The study about the impact of materials and processing conditions of additive technologies on morphology and properties is now the key aspect to leverage the performance and the quality of 3D printed objects.
This chapter intends to show how each step of the additive process can affect bulk, surface and layer properties and to present case studies regarding variations of morphology in filaments produced by Fused Deposition modelling simply by varying processing parameters.
